Correct statement regarding solubility of Second group hydroxides is

a
Decreases down the group because Lattice enthalpy increases down the group whereas Hydration enthalpy decreases
b
Increases down the group because both Lattice and Hydration enthalpies decreases down the group but the decrease in Lattice enthalpy is more than Hydration enthalpy
c
Increases down the group because Lattice enthalpy decreases down the group whereas Hydration enthalpy increases
d
Decreases down the group because both Lattice and Hydration enthalpies increases down the group but the increase in Lattice enthalpy is less than Hydration enthalpy

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Increases down the group;Both Lattice and Hydration enthalpies decreases down the group but the decrease in Lattice enthalpy is more than Hydration enthalpy.Latticeenthalpy dominates over hydration enthalpy.
